AN EXTINCT BIRD.

Sixty or seventy years ago the birds
were exceedingly common along the
northern coast, comiag as far south rs

upon them. and, though it hardly
seems possible. their determination is
doubtless completes; the last living bird
having been killed in 1874, on group
of islands called Funglasker. of the
southwest coast of Iceland
In the last century, these birds.
which were large, handsome and strik-
ing in appearance. were common at
the Farce Islands; and, as they were
found to be good eating. they were
slaughtered by the boat-load, not only
| for immediate use, but TO be. dried and
preserved They were finally driven
to a desolato rock that was considered
inaccessible; but one calm day a
! Faroese vessel succeeded in making a
landing, and the crew destroyed nearly
the entire rookeiy. A few birds es-
capped To sea and returned after the de-
parture of the mon, and for time were
safe. Then. rs ii nature herself were
iu league against them. the rock Il few
years later was cngu;fed by subma-
rine eruption.
The few remaining great auks now
assembled aud formed rookery on n
rock called Eldey. where, for fourteen
years. they lived precarous exist
ence. During that time sixty of their
number were taken. and finally the
last pair was destroyed. Their history
in other localities is very similar To
this. That the birds were once com
mon on the Maine coast Is shown by
the fact that their bones are found in
the oyster-shell heaps at various parts
Of the shore.
At the same time and in the same
locality with the great aux. lived the
Labrador duck. fine bird, quite rare
even in collections, and now totally ex-
tinct The last known living specimen
WAS killed by Colonel Wedderburn, of
Halifax. in 1852
In similar way the curious dodo.
which was a giant pigeon. was extcr.
minated. The sailors who visited the
! island of Mauritus used 10 kill them in
mere wanton sport.

GERMAN ADVANCE.
The wonderful Industrial and Commerrin
Growth of the Empire.

rhs Wonderful Industrial and Commerrin
Growth of the Empire.
The extraordinary martial successes
If Germany, the immense efforts she
has made to maintain her military SUI
premacy, and the exorbitaut burdens
to which she has submitted for the
purpose of keeping up her colossal
standing army have caused the outside
world, and especially the English
world. to lose sight of the great pro-
gress she has made of late as COM
mercial and industrial community.
This progress can only be compared
to that made by France under tho
Second Empire. while it has this sig
nal advantage. that it is in the main
the result of individual enterprise. not
of State initiative and impulse. The
industrial development of Germany
has proceeded pari passu with her mill
itary sggrandizement; and whenever
she is relieved from the dread of i'm
mediate attack, which, with or without
reason. Is her dominant thought at the
present moment, rs it has been ever
since the late war, her policy will
necessarily be directed by commercial
rather than stratcgical considerations.
Germany has all the conditions re-
quircd for the creation of n great mcr-
camille community. She has large
and hard-working population. a central
position; her people have the trading
and colonizing instinct; her merchants
have established themselves success
fully in all parts of the globe. All that
she requires TO become first class
mercantile power is free access to the
sea and the command of large
eafaring population. Given these
conditions, il is not difficult to foretell
hat Germany, II she retains her milf
AIRY supremacy. will not rest content
without having better scaboard than
she At present possesses. Sooner or
later the Austrian ports on the Mediter-
ranean will probably he made avail
,hlc for the extension and develop
mcnt of German trade. This object
could, however. be attained without
the need Of any territorial changes,
provided Austria could be induced to
enter the German Customs Union. Ii
Is enough for my present purpose To
say that Trieste may, and will prob
ably. be converted into German port
without any necessity for resort to
arms. tits, however, to the west rather
han TO the south that Germany must
look for the real extension of her trade.
The Baltic ports are unavailable for
winter traffic. Hamburg and Bremen
lie too much to the north and too far
from the sea. The natural outlets OF
German trade are the ports of Holland
aud Belgian. In order to avoid being
misunderstood, let me say, once for all.
that am not finding excuses for, still
less advocating, the possible annex
alton Of Belgium and Holland by Ger
many. My wish is to point out what
are the objects the various great
powers may reasonably have in view in
any revision of the map of Europe.
From this standpoint fail to see how
any impartial observer can dispute the
statement that the acquisition of Hol-
land or Belgium or both countries must
be an object of desire to Germany
